This seems to be gnome-system-tools asking for the password, from
src/common/gst-auth.c. Looking at that it's going to need to be patched to use
gksudo, or gnome-nettool needs to call 'network-admin' (the component of
gnome-system-tools the Configure button runs) via gksudo, but this does not
appear to be possible with gksudo because network-admin needs to take arguments
of its own and I don't think gksudo can do that in warty.
